Not to point out the obvious and deflate you completely, but the reason they’re excited is that PJ Hill recorded 5 ypc as a freshmen. Now, he did that mostly against terrible competition (note that he’s under 3 ypc against Michigan, Iowa, and Arkansas), but that’s not bad for a freshmen. Moreover, he only accounted for 58% of the teams carries last year, so the team stats don’t really reflect on him very well. Are they gonna win a national championship? Hell no. But they’re a decent rushing team.

The myth of the superb Wisconsin run game appears to be virulent. They averaged 3.92 YPC last season, folks! 3.92! That’s good for next to last in the Big Ten. And they lost Joe Thomas.

Stafford’s arm? That’s not what makes him a baby-Sex-Cannon, it’s the fact that the girl in that picture doesn’t have either of her feet on the ground. Now that’s an appendage you can set your sundial to.

“They may be replacing their qb, but if you have to do it, do it with a senior with more mobility than your successor: Tyler Donovan, who will have the security of one of the best run games in the Big Ten behind them.”

You, apparently, missed out on Clemson, post-mid October.

Any Big Ten team, ranked nationally in the top 5, is: A) A feeble attempt at humor, or, B) A misprint of biblical proportions.
Does that sound SEC biased? Just kidding, couldn’t help myself.

I see the logic in that, but inferring that Wisconsin only played two teams of substance (Penn State and Michigan) is somewhat misleading. Either way, I’m not sure they should be ranked any higher than you have them (unlike many other rankings, which put them in the top 5).

Evan–for the same reason why there’s no mention of VT’s loss to UGA in ranking them over UGA going into the season. It’s a bowl game, and if you’re going to try and make guesses on season outcomes based on bowl games, then you go ahead and rank Boise over Oklahoma.

Now I can clearly see why Mrs. Kragthorpe had no objection moving from Tulsa to Louisville – she’ll go anywhere with smilin’ Steve.

Why no mention of Wisconsin’s victory over Arkansas?

Stafford is holding a keg full of New York Chocolate Chunk ice cream? Amazing!

Georgia’s defense in 2007 will remind everyone of Victoria Beckham’s knee. It will be ugly.

Um, as much as I would have loved for the ratio to have been that last year for Stafford, it was reversed, might explain the four losses.
